I support Faculty Affairs Director Michelle Vallati as the Faculty Affairs Coordinator. I work on:
I began working at Yale almost 20 years ago in September 2006.
I greatly enjoy working on process improvements, streamlining tasks, and providing good resources for faculty. The credentialing process for incoming faculty involves three institutions, each having its own process. The three institutions do not share information and currently, there is not one set of instructions or website explaining these processes. When I started working in Neurology two years ago, I set out to create one document describing the three processes in one set of instructions. I am proud that I was able to begin creating instructions to alleviate some of the confusion for the faculty. While not done, I continue to improve the instructions and ask new faculty to share their experiences, which I then incorporate into the instructions. I would like to eventually transfer this to our website intranet.
The Appointments and Promotions (A&P) process is another process that is confusing to our faculty. I am working to improve this and created instruction sheets for each academic appointment, providing a checklist and information for faculty up for promotion and/or appointment. I would eventually like to see these in the Department's intranet.
My husband and I enjoy working on home improvement projects. This year, we decided to paint our summer home, a daunting task, as it has rained so much this spring and summer! We also spend a lot of time with our adult children and have just taken up playing pool with them! I also have a large flower garden in North Haven that my mom and I created 20 years ago. It is amazing to see the progress!
